In the FE Modeler you will see the Import Summary, where a few basic model statistics are shown. Right above the Import Summary you will see Target System. The Target System should be set to Mechanical APDL because this is the code that ANSYS uses.

...

In the Outline window, highlight Skin Detection Tool. You will see a faint mesh of the Abaqus model.

...

In Details View for Skin Detection Tool, The Tolerance Angle is set to 15. The Skin Detection Tool process computes the angle between the normals of two adjacent elements in the mesh. If this angle is less than or equal to the Tolerance Angle then the two elements are in the same component, otherwise, they are separated. We will keep the angle to 15 degrees.

In the Outline window, right click on Geometry Synthesis > Insert > Initial Geometry. This will reproduce the model in Workbench compatible format.
